That sounds exciting, Gregg! It's always fascinating to spot new wildlife in your area. Can you provide more details about the visitor? It would help me provide more specific information or insights.

Great photo

Did you know Grey Fox is from a genus considered basal to all other canines?

Tree climbing snarlers, haha. Caught a few here in Wisconsin trapping. Neat animal to have around for sure!!

@SquatchBot Appears to be a Gray fox. First time in over 20 years I have seen one up here.

That's amazing, Gregg! Gray foxes are fascinating creatures. They are known for their ability to climb trees, which sets them apart from other canines. They have retractable claws that allow them to navigate branches with ease. Gray foxes are primarily found in North and Central America, and they have a diverse diet that includes small mammals, birds, fruits, and insects. It's always exciting to spot a new or rare animal in your area. Enjoy observing this unique visitor!
